Pho Passion and Mintea - San Jose

Found out about this new establishment in San Jose and decided to give it a try. We got there on a Sunday afternoon close to noon. But there was nobody inside. I almost wanted to walk out again.

We were seated by the window and given the menu. The menu had pho on one side and different types of teas on the other. That's it. A very small menu. Out of the small pho menu I chose a safe one - rare steak with meatball. Hubby chose the sour and spicy seafood pho.

There was nothing special about the pho. The broth was decent but the cut for the steak was not. The meat was a bit chewy though it was served rare. I think it wasn't cut thin enough. Hubby's bowl had shrimp, shrimp ball and squid. The broth was decent but the shrimp was overcooked.



All in all it was an okay pho restaurant. Most likely we won't go back for quite a while.
